Volume 4: National Craftsmanship Chapter 86: Field Observation of the Zombie Tide
At a low altitude of 1,000 meters, 440 people carrying jet packs flew over the land of H Province at a not very fast speed like a dense swarm of locusts. "Boss, Q City is really far from S City... We have been flying for a whole morning," an ordinary extraordinary team member said in a muffled voice while wearing a helmet.
"It will be there in one more breath," Meng San replied in a deep voice.
At this time, a large number of soft water curtains appeared in front of them. After seeing them, the 440 extraordinary people slowly slowed down and stopped on a building. This was a simple water vapor barrier made by Miao Shubai. Its defensive effect was weak. It was mainly to remind everyone that it was time to stop. They did not have communicators in their armor, so they had to rely on visual content to communicate. Shen Jin did not know flag language, so he had to arrange for Miao Shubai to use water vapor to issue orders. If a water curtain barrier with "Danger" written on it suddenly appeared in front of them, it meant that they had encountered an enemy.
This kind of ordinary large water curtain is to let everyone stop and adjust their state.
440 people stood on this 32-story building. The extraordinary people of Meng's team spread out and checked the surrounding environment first, kicked down some blind zombies, and took off their helmets. Shen Jin said, "We will encounter a zombie tide in front. We will rest here for 15 minutes, fill up the methane, put away the windproof helmets, put on armor helmets, check all the items on our bodies, and put the things we need for the battle in our belts..."
"Yes! Boss!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Shang Qian had just hung up the satellite phone and came to Shen Jin and said, "I just communicated with the people in City S. They can already see our location on the satellite map. The direction of the zombie tide has not changed. We will encounter them 10 kilometers to the west!"
"Well... let's take a closer look to see what the zombie tide is made of. Then let Wu Yong lead the troops to set up checkpoints at the locations we have arranged!"
15 minutes later, the large force was divided into two camps and flew in two directions respectively. Shen Jin brought all the captains and vice-captains except Wu Yong, as well as two foreign players Mi Xiaoli and Lu Daizhen, and Dou Bei, a second-level gene-locked expert from the Q city government.
A group of 16 people flew northwest. Ten minutes later, they saw the outline of a zombie tide at the edge of Qiangwu County. "Hiss!"
“Hiss~!”
“Hiss~!~!”
Everyone gasped 16 times, as if not taking so many breaths would not be enough to describe such a shocking scene. In the past, when two armies faced off in ancient times, there would be hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops. It was actually difficult to show this on TV because... there were too many of them!
As Shen Jin looked around, he saw that the sky was blocked out. There was nothing in this direction except zombies. The sea and the sky were one color, and all he could see was a sea of black and green. Their main colors were black skin and green hair, and it was like a wriggling, stinking ditch flowing towards him, which was both disgusting and terrifying!
Even though Qiangwu County was not a small county, it was just a foil at this time. It was crawling with all kinds of zombies. If tens of thousands of zombies needed to shuttle through the gaps in the buildings, then a million zombies would directly cover the buildings. M-shaped and Y-shaped zombies were jumping back and forth in the middle of the buildings. From time to time, a few zombies were stepped on. Shen Jin looked at the zombies and suddenly said, "Something is wrong..."
"I also feel something is not right. There are so many zombies... Although they are moving forward, there seems to be some kind of order between them," Yang Ao touched his chin.
"That's right! Look at the zombies in the zombie tide! They have formed a battle formation!" Meng San's eyes were sharp and he saw the problem at a glance. "Zombies with different evolutionary attributes have different positions in the zombie tide. The strong L-power zombies and T-swelling zombies are in the front of the team. They are responsible for clearing the way and using their strong bodies to knock down all obstacles. And...M-agility zombies and Y-harpy zombies are jumping on the wall. This can compress the space and speed up the zombie tide. And P-jet zombies are fragile and functional, so they are protected in the middle of the zombie tide. Wait, that's not right, how can they move so fast?"
When Meng San was confused, Li Zhe gave the answer: "Look behind..."
Everyone looked behind the P-type zombie and saw two huge reproductive zombies wriggling with their tentacles, with living people tied to them, some of whom were still struggling!
"It's this kind of zombie again! How hateful!" Shen Jin gritted his teeth. This reproductive zombie kept humans in captivity. Females gave birth to offspring for it, and males were stored as meat. Anyone could kill it!
No human being could watch such a horrific act. Zhu Dan fought desperately with it to break through to the second level of transcendence.
The reproductive bodies Shen Jin had seen were all at the level of second-level zombies. Their combat power was not particularly strong, but their reproductive ability was extremely terrifying. They could lay hundreds of eggs at a time, and the little zombies they produced were very powerful. "I know... these slow-moving P-type zombies are some distance from the ground, and they are... carried by the little zombies!"
“No wonder there are no baby zombies where there are reproductive bodies. It turns out they are all underneath.” Tong Zhen nodded. This made sense. Everyone landed on a large chimney of a cement factory and observed this wave of millions of zombies, constantly analyzing their characteristics and information. “From the overall point of view… the division of labor in this wave of zombies is more clear, and there are very few cases of trampling and devouring each other. There are definitely Z3 zombies among them. Its control ability and… intelligence are far stronger than Z2 zombies. I’m afraid we’re going to encounter a tough one this time. It’s just that it hasn’t shown its head yet, and I don’t know where it’s hiding…”
Dou Bei said carelessly: "Even if they have intelligence, can they surpass humans? I don't believe that zombies can understand the traps we are going to set? If you ask me, just give me 500 bottles of potions, take my 500 strong crossbowmen brothers, and shoot them directly from a high position! In the past, there were 500 musketeers sweeping across Europe and Asia, and now I can have 500 strong crossbowmen to fight against millions of zombies!"
Meng San curled his lips and said, "Stop bragging. Your crossbows can't even break Shu Bai's force field. Are you going to risk your life to fight the zombies?"
"Hey~! We have Boss Shen here. He can make a powerful shortbow. Can't he make some powerful crossbows? Right, Boss!"
Shen Jin nodded: "There will be some in the future, but... it will definitely not be able to deal with this level of corpses. Do you see the two red lumps on the corpses?"
"Huh? There's something here? I thought it was a fertility zombie with a wreath of flowers on its head!" Li Moxiao was shocked. She was still thinking that the fertility zombie loved beauty and gave you two little red flowers?
"No...it's the Y2 zombies with a group of Y1 zombies! And...they've discovered us!"
Lu Daizhen stared at the two red unidentified creatures carefully, and used his special powers to feel the same emotions as when he fought against the Y2 zombies that day: brutality, bloodthirstiness, excitement and... the desire to attack!
Shen Jin's eyes narrowed: "Get ready, fight!"
He pulled Shang Qian and Li Moxiao back half a step.
